The dual notion of cofinality is coinitiality: a set S#92;subseteqP is called coinitial if for every p#92;inP there is q#92;inS such that q#92;lep. Equivalently, a coinitial set in P is a cofinal set in P#92;ast#58;#61;(P,#92;ge). […] Both cofinality and coinitiality need not be well-defined for an arbitrary partial order (e.g. if the partial order is only made of two incomparable elements).
